Medfly Healthcare Parashield Plus Tick & Flea Spot On for Cats

Product Description

Medfly Healthcare Parashield Plus Spot On for Cats — Tick & Flea Control If your cat has been scratching more than usual, grooming obsessively, or you've spotted tiny dark specks on their coat, fleas and ticks may already be at work. In India's warm, humid climate — from the coastal cities of Chennai and Mumbai to the sticky post-monsoon air in Delhi and Bengaluru — ticks and fleas thrive almost year-round, and indoor cats are far from immune. Medfly Healthcare Parashield Plus is a vet-approved, monthly spot-on treatment for cats that combines two proven active compounds to kill adult fleas, ticks, and chewing lice on contact, while also breaking the flea lifecycle at every stage — eggs, larvae, and pupae — for up to three months of protection with a single application. What Makes Parashield Plus Different? How to Apply Parashield Plus? Parashield Plus is a pipette-format spot-on — one small tube, applied directly to your cat's skin, done in under a minute: Remove the pipette from its packaging. Snap off the tip along the scored line. Part the fur at the back of your cat's neck, at the base of the skull between the shoulder blades, until the skin is clearly visible. Place the tip of the pipette directly on the skin. Squeeze gently to empty the contents in one or two spots. Do not allow treated cats to lick each other or rub against other animals until the application site is fully dry. Apply once every month for ongoing flea and tick protection. Do not bathe your cat for at least 48 hours before or after application, as moisture can affect absorption. Where Exactly to Apply? The base of the neck between the shoulder blades is the correct and only recommended application site. This location is specifically chosen because it is out of reach of your cat's tongue — important for safety. Never apply to the top of the head, ears, or back. Never apply to broken, irritated, or visibly inflamed skin. If you require a video guide demonstrating how to apply the spot-on to your cat, watch this video What Does Parashield Plus Treat? What Are The Signs Your Cat May Have Fleas or Ticks? Fleas and ticks are small enough to hide easily in dense cat fur. Don't wait for a visible infestation — watch for these early signs: If you've spotted any of these signs and want a vet's input before treating, consult a Supertails vet online — same-day appointments available across India.

What Are Its Side Effects? Most cats tolerate Parashield Plus without any reaction. Mild, temporary skin irritation or hair clumping at the application site is occasionally reported and typically resolves as the product dries. In rare cases, cats may show signs of skin sensitivity. If irritation persists for more than 24 hours, or if your cat shows neurological symptoms such as tremors, contact your vet immediately. How to Get the Most Out of Parashield Plus?

Apply directly to the skin at the base of the neck, between the shoulder blades. Part the fur until skin is visible, then place the pipette tip on skin and squeeze. This spot is chosen specifically because it is out of reach of your cat's tongue, making it the only safe application site. How often should I apply Parashield Plus? Once every month for continuous flea and tick protection. Do not apply more frequently than once every 30 days. If you have a heavy infestation, treat your home environment alongside your cat — the spot-on alone addresses parasites on your cat, not those in carpets or bedding. Can I apply Parashield Plus to a kitten? Yes, Parashield Plus is suitable for kittens from 8 weeks of age and older. Do not use on kittens younger than 8 weeks. My cat hates being touched at the neck. How do I apply it? Wrap your cat gently in a towel to reduce movement ("the burrito method"), exposing only the back of the neck. Have a treat ready for immediately after. The application takes under ten seconds once you've parted the fur — speed and calm are more effective than force. If you're struggling, a vet consultation on Supertails can offer specific handling advice for your cat. Can I bathe my cat after applying Parashield Plus? Avoid bathing your cat for at least 48 hours before and after application. Water can reduce absorption and affect the treatment's distribution across the skin. If your cat needs a bath, do it at least two days before the next scheduled application. Is Parashield Plus safe if I have children at home? Keep children away from the application site until it is fully dry, which typically takes a few hours. Once dry, normal contact with your cat is safe. Do not allow children to handle the pipette or touch the wet application site. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap after applying. My cat is indoor-only. Does she still need flea treatment? Yes. Fleas can enter your home on clothing, shoes, visitors' pets, or through gaps in doors and windows. In apartment buildings in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and other dense Indian cities, flea populations from neighbouring pets can migrate through shared spaces. Indoor cats are lower risk but not zero risk — monthly prevention is still recommended by most vets. What is the difference between Parashield and Parashield Plus? Parashield (without "Plus") contains Fipronil only, which kills adult fleas and ticks but does not break the flea lifecycle. Parashield Plus adds (S)-Methoprene, an insect growth regulator that prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing. If you are dealing with an ongoing infestation or want more complete protection, Parashield Plus is the stronger choice. Can I use Parashield Plus on a cat with Flea Allergy Dermatitis? Yes. Parashield Plus is specifically indicated for the treatment and control of Flea Allergy Dermatitis in cats. By eliminating the flea population and breaking the flea lifecycle, it removes the allergic trigger. For cats with severe FAD, a vet may also recommend additional treatment for the skin reaction itself alongside the spot-on. Do I need to treat my home as well as my cat? For active infestations, yes. Roughly 95% of the flea lifecycle happens in your cat's environment — in carpet fibres, under furniture, and in bedding. Parashield Plus prevents new eggs from hatching but does not affect pupae already present in your home. Combine treatment with thorough vacuuming and hot-wash laundering of your cat's bedding for the fastest resolution.
